Good to hear! I've only bought a Ladybug in H1 so far but I always think of getting either the Salt1 or a Pacific Salt for my next Spyderco. I have so far ended up with something different from them but I think one day I will get around to picking one up. I just like the idea of the knife, not that I really need a "rust proof" knife. The only thing I come across in my day to day life that might have a rusting affect on a knife is I love to bass fish, but even then its fresh water so I've never had a problem with ANY knife I've been carring. Love my little H1 Ladybug so I know I'll eventually get around to a bigger one, the only thing now is to decide on a plain edge or serrated. I'm a plain edge guy but all the talk of just how much better the serrated edge H1 knives are has made me re-think the situation.
